Cyberoam Launches New CR10wiNG Wireless Security Appliances

Cyberoam, a leading global provider of network security appliances, has launched CR10wiNG, the “fastest and most affordable UTM appliance” with built-in Wi-Fi capabilities for the SOHO/ROBO markets. The CR10wiNG wireless appliance supports 802.11 n/b/g standards and up to eight virtual access points. It delivers UTM security features over WLAN to offer enterprise-level security and meet the requirement of mobility in this segment. Cyberoam CR10wiNG offers high performance with firewall throughput of 400Mbps and UTM throughput of 60Mbps.
The wireless networks in organizations face huge risk of information theft due to their inability to trace users, especially guest users, within the network. Additionally, lack of IT security staff and budgetary constraints make it difficult for the SOHO/ROBO segment to find security solutions that are adequate, cost-effective and easy to manage. Also, organizations with distributed networks, remote and branch offices, especially in sectors like retail stores, logistics and transportation, and Utility distribution centers, demand mobility within the network and need network security, secure remote access, and secure Wi-Fi for walk-in customers.
CR10wiNG, based on Cyberoam’s patented Layer 8 technology, allows administrators to apply User identity-based security policies to gain visibility over user activity and also manage Guest Internet access in the network. CR10wiNG supports multiple virtual access points that create independent, segregated networks in the same physical area for separate teams like sales, marketing, guest users, and more. This offers secure authentication and prevents rogue clients from connecting to networks where they don’t belong.
“CR10wiNG is designed for small and branch offices to offer secure Wi-Fi at par with wired security. It enables a leaner Wi-Fi security infrastructure to organizations by replacing both Wi-Fi router and firewall with a single appliance. For remote offices with limited connectivity options, CR10wiNG also offers 3G
Cyberoam CR10wiNG is built on the same CyberoamOS that powers other high-end NG series UTM appliances. It is centrally manageable via Cyberoam Central Console (CCC) and Cyberoam’s on-Cloud Management Service and is compatible with iView – Cyberoam’s Open Source logging and reporting solution.

Blaster Headphone: Simple looks, but sound companion

Creative Technology on Monday announced the launch of Ultra-Light Sound Blaster JAM, a Bluetooth headset which aims to compete with the already heated up sub-Rs.4,000 headphones segment.
This particular segment assumes significance as there has been a continuous demand for sturdy and bass-kicking headphones at an affordable price. The JAM enters the market with a price tag of Rs.3,499 and here is our evaluation of the new headphone:
Design: The device looks like any other normal over-the-head Bluetooth headphone. It comes with extendable flaps that helps the user adjust the headphones over his or her head and rather feels comfortable on the ear owing to the ear cushions.
The headphones sports a dedicated bass button and volume rocker controls on the right flap. The circle on the right flap acts as the start or the stop button while playing music and doubles up as a button for accepting or rejecting calls on the go. A dedicated button for changing music would have been an icing on the cake.
Audio and Connectivity: This headphone is seriously loud and has a great bass effect although the headphones seemed to miss a few lower notes at the bass mode. The Sound Blaster JAM supports Bluetooth 4.1 audio streaming allowing users to communicate and stream audio content from their mobile device.
It features Near Field Communication (NFC) wireless connectivity for one-touch pairing. Creative boasts of Neodymium drivers that has the effect of bringing the audio alive. The device has a built-in microphone with noise reduction and acoustic echo cancellation abilities that allows the user to enjoy voice clarity during calls too.
Special Mode and Battery: The headphone is loud enough but once connected to a PC it goes to extra loud mode. Sound BlasterÂ’s SBX Pro Studio comprises a suite of audio technologies, such as Surround, Crystalizer, Bass, Smart Volume and Dialog Plus, giving users the ability to fully customize every aspect of the headphones’ audio settings.
SBX Surround increases and expands the virtual surround spaciousness, allowing users to enjoy realistic surround sound when watching movies or playing games while SBX Crystalizer restores details and expands the dynamic range of audio. The headphone has great battery backup and can run up to 10-12 hours on a single charge.
Pricing and Availability: The Creative Sound Blaster JAM Bluetooth headset, priced at Rs 3,499 will be available in India from end of May 2015 onwards. The product will be available for purchase online on Amazon India, Flipkart and Snapdeal.
Verdict: Although the device will face stiff competition in its segment, our verdict is that the JAM is a perfect sound companion which will let users enjoy hands-free voice communication, music playback, watching movies and mobile gaming on the go for a fairly reasonable price.

At the recent Intel’s Distributor Leader Summit held in Macau, Rashi Peripherals won the “Top Distributor Award” in the desktop CPU category, for emerging markets category; in Asia Pacific and the Japanese Region.
The award is purely a reflection of Rashi’s strength and efforts put in for sustaining the DIY market and strengthening the tier-3 and tier-4 markets. It is the result of efficient delivery and team work from Rashi.
“Glad to see the first recognition from Intel with whom we have been associated since August 2013, and this award only encourages our team to do more. Despite the challenging DIY market sentiments, we have been able to deliver this award is a testament of our passion towards Intel’s business.
